KDE Management Launches Official Go-Kart Driver Development Camp at CMP Kershaw

KDE Management and Driver Development hosted its first official Go-Kart Camp on 13–14 December at CMP Kershaw, in collaboration with Proelium Competition and JFC Karts. The camp brought together the majority of KDE drivers for two full days of intensive, high-performance track activity.

Using KDE’s proven methodologies developed over more than 30 years, each driver’s technique was analysed in depth through data review, onboard video analysis and live track observation. This allowed the coaching team to evaluate real-time decision-making and reactions across a range of track scenarios.

A key focus of the camp was maximising tyre performance during qualifying sessions, alongside advanced race craft and traffic management. These elements play a critical role in overall race results and were addressed through structured drills and targeted feedback.

Significant improvements were observed across all drivers, particularly in consistency, efficiency and technical execution. The camp also validated that the work drivers complete independently at their home tracks directly translates into on-track performance gains.

Bringing all drivers together provided a valuable opportunity to confirm the long-term impact of the KDE karting programme. The results reinforce its effectiveness and underline the strength of KDE’s driver development pathway as the team looks ahead with confidence to the 2026 season.

I’ve seen great improvements from each driver; in different elements of the techniques, we worked on through the year. So, I’m excited to see how efficient and valuable the KDE karting program is and has been for our drivers over the last few years. To have the opportunity to hold these camps with all the drivers being together and be able to validate that what they do at Home, in their own kart at their local track really works and makes a difference.

LET’S GO 2026!
